The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
